Hawken Pt. 2: Brix have been shat.

Though the fans didn't get a jump on this, as the devs had fiendishly planned, by getting photos of landmarks, today the public got a looksee at... well, just look at it:

Done hyperventilating, giant robot fans? Good.

What's not to like about this gameplay? Awesome bayformers sound effects? Kooky bladerunner meets saigon cities? Heavy controls that make you feel like your piloting a breakdancing brick shithouse with guns? Check. Love 'em.

But, as mech heads usually are, they love to get psychotically obsessive over robot customization. There were a multitude of weapons in the trailer, such as the machiengun, at least 3 types of cannons and those whooshy itano circus missiles. What about the myriad robot designs? Do they have different playstyles? Abilities? Weapon limits? The world may never know.

Not until Adhesive Games gets on with it and releases the thing, at least. I wish them godspeed.
